Ok, I went back into XP and used Movie Maker to turn the mpg files into one
big WMV file. Now DVD Maker works without crashing. I am burning the DVD
now, but since it didn't crash out on me this time I feel it will be ok. ;0)

I was attempting to use Microsoft DVD Maker that comes with Vista Ultimate
RTM x86. That program does work with WMV files, but it doesn't like the MPG
files produced by Power Cinema. I would use MCE to record with, but it
stops, sputters and spews ... way to often for my tastes. <sigh>

I was thinking maybe a burning program had added some codecs. Most of the
suite type programs do. Diagnosing DEP errors can be very hard. It's rarely
the reported program that's at fault. It's usually some add on that's doing
something in the background. What antivirus and antispyware programs are you
using?

Oh, now I see what you were getting at. I have Roxio 7.0 installed. While
it does have a DVD creator program, it doesn't work in Vista. However, it
doesn't work in XP Pro SP2 either. LOL. I tried DVD Santa, and while it
worked in as far as creating a DVD image and burning it, the lip-sync was
way off. So, I am just going to record with Power Cinema and then change
format to WMV and finally use Windows DVD Maker. ROFLOL..... A lot of
trouble but it at least it works.
